The author, who was raised oral deaf himself, recounts a visit to a school for young deaf children and discovers that young d/Deaf children and their rights are subverted by the cochlear implantation empire. The hypercapitalist, techno-manic times of cochlear implantation has wreaked havoc to the lives of not only young children with deafness but also the parents themselves are indoctrinated into a system that first strips them of their competency through the diagnosing ritual to finally stripping the parents of their own rights to make fully informed choices for their children. The genre of this exposé is DeafCrit, drawing on journalistic traditions of muckraking and the methods of new journalism to report on, deconstruct, and critique the involvement of audist/ableist medical, business, welfare, and education stakeholders in the rise of cochlear implants in young children and how this operation is altering the landscape of deaf education.

Despite the large amount of research on panic attacks according to DSM criteria, there are some inconsistencies between this and reports from clinical settings. Some naturalistic and non‐standard studies are needed. The authors of the present study submitted a list of 24 bodily symptoms to 65 panic patients who had sought medical help. The results of principal‐component analysis revealed five factors, four of which represent the forms described in clinical and epidemiological contexts: cephalo‐vertiginous, cervico‐respiratory, thoraco‐cardiac and abdomino‐digestive. Each of these factors is differentially related to some specific fearful anticipations, which may organize the symptoms in a body‐related topographical way.

This article provides an analysis of the binary construction of human communication as it is represented in the debates about pediatric cochlear implantation. While the authors express their concern about interests that promote pathologizing assumptions about deafness and downplay the known challenges and limitations of cochlear implants, their goal in this article is to call attention to the complex and diverse ways deaf children and adults experience their communicative difference. Drawing from disability studies, deaf studies, the work of Deleuze and Guattari, and Charles Garoian's 2013 The Prosthetic Pedagogy of Art, the authors scrutinize binary conceptualizations of spoken language and sign language, and deaf/Deaf and hearing. In place of binaries, the authors explore human communication in ways that denaturalize boundaries between, across, and within deaf and hearing communities. The authors draw from Garoian to tie Deleuze and Guattari's notion of "anomaly" to Snoddon and Underwood's 2013 discussion of "plurilingualism" to argue that communicative competence is always relational, emergent, and constantly shifting and that which is positioned as anomalous is that which simultaneously creates potential for the emergence of new ways of being. The authors invite readers to "enter the rhizome" and "navigate in-between spaces where bodies as multiplicities can thrive."

This is the first full-length study of James Joyce to subject his work to ethical and political analysis. It addresses important issues in contemporary literary and cultural studies surrounding problems of justice, as well as discussions of gender, homosociality and the colonial condition. Valente uses an original theory and psychology of justice through which to explore both the well-known and the more obscure of Joyce's works. He traces the remarkable formal and stylistic evolution that defined Joyce's career, and his progressive attempt to negotiate the context of social difference in racial, colonial, class and sexual terms. By analysing Joyce's verbal strategies within both the psychobiographical and sociohistorical contexts, Valente unlocks the politics of Joyce's unconscious and reveals the legacy of Western political thought.
